Chapter 156: Don’t Take It Lightly

Jing Xiangxue was not as shocked or sad as one might imagine, but rather unusually calm.

"Actually...I already thought of it when I realized that you had become different."

It was Jing Zhuo who was surprised: "Mom, since you already knew, why didn't you expose me and question me?"

"I don't know who you are, but you have never hurt me and have always called me mom, so I will treat you as my own daughter."

There was a hint of sadness in her tone, and Jing Zhuo felt guilty after hearing it.

"I have been without a mother since I was a child, but I feel it from you. Thank you."

Jing Xiangxue sighed softly: "Then do you know where the real Zhuo Er went?"

She originally thought that the worst outcome was that she was already dead and the current Zhuo'er was a resurrection from the dead.

Jing Zhuo also decided to tell her all the truth, "She is not dead, we exchanged bodies, but my original body is in another world, and we can only connect through a special opportunity. In short, she is safe and alive and well now, you don't have to worry at all."

This was much better than Jing Xiangxue had imagined. "Really? Thank God, God bless her, she is not dead."

"It's just that I don't know how to get my body back now, so for now, mother, you still need to accept me as your daughter and stay by your side."

Jing Xiangxue held her hand and said, "Over the past few days, I have treated you as my real daughter. If you don't mind, we can still be the same as before."

Jing Zhuo nodded heavily. She understood that there is gain and loss.

Perhaps she came to this world because the modern world lacks the family and friendship she longs for. Here she has her mother and Jiang Nianwei, which is enough for her.

Jing Xiangxue looked at the strange-looking machine in front of her, "But what is this thing? Why have I never seen it before?"

"This is what I brought from the modern era. The modern era is the era I lived in before, which is the future. I gave the gold, silver and jewelry here to Zhuo'er, your real daughter. She exchanged them for money and bought these generators. These are very useful."

"What's the use of this?" Jing Xiangxue asked curiously.

Since body swapping happens in the world, it's not so strange to be able to bring back items from the future.

"Mom, don't we usually use oil lamps? Now that we have electricity, we can use electric lights."

Jing Xiangxue became even more confused, "This thing can light up by itself?"

"of course."

Jing Zhuo was just about to start the operation to show Jing Xiangxue, but he found another person coming to the door. He didn't know how long she had been standing outside and how much information she had heard.

Until she saw that the other person was Jing Qiudie, she was still wondering what kind of excuse she should prepare. Who knew that this aunt was calmer than her mother.

"Zhuo'er, I believe everything you just said, because Nianwei also told me that she had been to another world that was very different from this one. Did she bring all these bizarre things from there?"

Jing Zhuo obviously didn't expect Jing Qiudie's ability to accept things was so strong. "Yes, since you are so curious, I will show you right away."

She wanted to pour the diesel into the generator, but found that she was too clumsy to even lift the bucket.

It was Jing Xiangxue and Jing Qiudie who followed her instructions and worked together to pour the gasoline in.

Then, Jing Zhuo turned on the generator, and the gears began to turn slowly, making a loud noise when the generator was operating.

The two were obviously startled. "Zhuo'er, this generator is not dangerous, right? Why is it roaring so loudly, like a beast?"

"Don't be afraid, it's the internal mechanism at work."

Jing Zhuo adjusted the voltage of the generator, watched the current on the power meter gradually stabilize, connected the power strip, plugged in the power supply of the desk lamp, and turned on the switch.

A magical scene happened. The desk lamp lit up, even brighter than the lanterns they were holding. From a distance it looked like a little sun.

"It's just incredible."

The two of them gathered around and began to observe the lamp. "Is the outer layer made of glass? What's lighting up inside?"

"It lights up with LEDs." Then he realized they wouldn't understand what that meant. "It hasn't been invented here yet."

"Oil lamps are easy to extinguish, but electric lamps do not have this problem."

Jing Xiangxue couldn't help but start to marvel, "Won't it be destroyed?"

"Not as long as the power is turned off."

Jing Zhuo began to operate the switch. "Turn on the switch and it will light up, turn off the switch and it will go out."

Then she began to demonstrate the projector to the two of them. She didn't expect that Xia Zhuo had even considered this.

The laptop is already loaded with various movies, TV series and documentaries.

Jing Zhuo connected the projector to the computer, and the TV series playing on the computer was projected onto the white wall.

When Jing Xiangxue saw a woman wearing similar clothes as herself, she was startled, "What...what is this? Is it a ghost?"

"Mom, this is not a ghost, this is a TV show." She didn't know how to explain this complicated principle, so she could only explain it in the simplest way: "Mom, didn't you like watching plays before? These people are just acting, and their performances are different."

After Jing Qiudie felt that these were reflected on the wall, she couldn't help but reach out and touch it, "But how did you lock them in there?"

"I didn't lock them up. I just recorded them through some means, and then through the principle of light mapping, they can be projected. You can continue watching. This is a very famous palace fighting TV series in modern times."

"Palace fight?"

The two looked at each other. Although they couldn't understand what was being said, they were attracted by everything that was happening in the video.

"This shouldn't be our Dasheng palace. Our clothes are different."

Jing Zhuo took a quick glance and said, "It should be from a certain extinct dynasty. It should have nothing to do with us."

In fact, Dasheng does not exist in modern history books. Jing Zhuo has always felt that this should be some imaginary dynasty.

At first, Jing Xiangxue and Jing Qiudie were very cautious when watching the TV series, fearing that the characters in it would suddenly appear, but as the plot became more and more intense, the two were completely attracted.

Later, he even brought a stool, sat in front of the projector, and watched it attentively.

"Oh, why doesn't she explain? How can the emperor know if she doesn't explain?"

Jing Xiangxue wiped her tears emotionally, "This is too pitiful."

Jing Zhuo didn't expect that the two of them had such a strong ability to accept things. They accepted it all at once. Now they are eating melon seeds while watching the drama with immersion.

Fortunately, the computer's memory is large enough, and Xia Zhuo downloaded hundreds of TV series into it, which should be enough for them to watch for a while.

Jing Zhuo discovered that Li Kun was doing something behind her back and it was becoming more and more mysterious. She was now afraid that Li Kun would plot something behind her back.

I have already written to Jiang Nianwei about these things last time. I wonder if she will find a way to get rid of Li Kun, the thorn in her side.

As Jiang Nianwei gained more and more trust from Baili Jingyao, her plan could be implemented step by step.

After receiving Jing Zhuo's letter, she had already started to make arrangements.

Baili Zhao couldn't do this openly, but she could make it mysterious.

"Your Majesty, I recently observed the stars at night and found that a star in the south has an unusual phenomenon. I am afraid that something bad is going to happen in the south."

Jiang Nianwei knew that as long as she mentioned this matter, no matter whether Baili Jingyao believed it or not, he would secretly eliminate those who were not good for him. He would rather kill someone by mistake than leave any threat behind.

"Oh? Can Master Jiang tell me clearly?"

Jiang Nianwei took out a piece of paper with two words "Qian Kun" written on it.

"Yazhou is the southernmost capital city, and it has a lot of secrets. Your Majesty, you know that for a Jiao to transform into a dragon, it needs an opportunity."

The other party did not say it explicitly, but Baili Jingyao already understood the meaning.

There is a weak dragon in Yazhou that is about to transform into a dragon. We need to get rid of him before he does so to avoid future troubles.

"Thank you, Taoist Priest, for reminding me."

Baili Jingyao then sent people to investigate, "Qiankun... check it out carefully, and report to me immediately if you find anything!"

Not long after, the guards who went to Yazhou to investigate discovered clues.

There was a family called Li in Yazhou. The father and son were named Li Qian and Li Kun. They were so domineering in Asia that even the prefect could not control them. Most importantly, Li Qian had a daughter who was a concubine in the palace, so he claimed to be your Majesty's father-in-law.

The emperor is far away here, and the Li family is the local boss of Yazhou.

This news soon reached Baili Jingyao's ears. The local tyrant in this destitute place was like an ant to him. How could he care about an ant?

But Taoist Jiang's words echoed in his ears. Since it was just an ant, it didn't matter whether it was stepped on or crushed to death.

At this moment, Concubine Yan also whispered to him, "Your Majesty, my birthday is coming soon. Your Majesty, can you give me a birthday gift?"

"Just tell me what you want. I promise you."

He originally thought that the concubines around him were favored simply to get some rare things rare in the world, or to find an official position for their clansmen.

But Concubine Yan gently lowered her eyes and knelt beside him: "Your Majesty, I know that Your Majesty is very busy and every moment is extremely precious. I just want Your Majesty to be an ordinary couple with me on your birthday."

Baili Jingyao suddenly felt dazed. It had been many years since a woman had said such words.

When he got older, the concubines in the palace treated him with respect out of fear, but only Concubine Yan made such a special request to him.

When he was young, he thought such a request was ridiculous. They were already emperors and concubines, so how could they be ordinary husbands? But now he thinks it is precious.

"I promise you, that day, I will only accompany you as an ordinary couple."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Concubine Yan pretended to be excited and knelt to thank him for his grace.

She followed what Taoist Master Jiang said, never asking for anything, and always thinking about Baili Jingyao wholeheartedly. Although this caused her great suffering, it was nothing when she thought about her freedom in the future.

Concubine Yan hesitated, "Your Majesty, there is one more thing..."

"What's the matter? Tell me what's going on."

"Your Majesty, you should go visit the other concubines. Li Fei told me that her brother has brought a lot of strange and bizarre things to the palace recently, and she wants you to appreciate them."

"Princess Li?"

There were many concubines in the harem, and it took him some time to think carefully before he remembered who this Concubine Li was.

Originally, she was just a noble lady, but after Concubine Hui passed away, many concubines in the palace were promoted, and Noble Lady Li became Concubine Li.

If he remembered correctly, this Li Concubine was the daughter of Li Qian and the sister of Li Kun.

"My beloved concubine is so virtuous that she actually pushed me to another palace."

"I know that Your Majesty cannot be with me alone. Concubine Li has been coming to accompany me to relieve my boredom recently."

Her words seemed illogical, but Baili Jingyao had already understood the meaning.

"Okay, okay, I'll obey you."

Then he came to Concubine Li's bedroom. When Concubine Li saw Baili Jingyao coming, she immediately became excited and started to make preparations.

Although she became a concubine, the number of times she was favored by His Majesty was very few. Li Pin was always thinking about when she could get pregnant with a dragon fetus, so that she could guarantee her status and help the Li family.

Concubine Li took out all kinds of good things and new items that her brother had sent people to bring from Yazhou.

"Isn't this colored glass? I remember that this is a rare item. How could my beloved concubine have so many?"

"Your Majesty, this is not a rare item at all. It is very popular in my hometown. I think it has a unique shape, so I want to show it to Your Majesty."

There is not only colored glaze, but also various exquisite porcelains, exquisite gold and stone, and even a whole piece of ambergris.

Her father and brother were just minor officials in Yazhou, yet they had so many treasures. How could this not make Baili Jingyao even more suspicious?

Seeing that he was frowning, Concubine Li didn't know what she had done to anger the emperor. She was very frightened and dared not say anything more.

Baili Jingyao sneered meaningfully: "I still remember that Yazhou is obviously a remote and desolate place, but there are so many treasures. Your brother is a remarkable man."

"Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. I am stupid and just wanted to show you something. If Your Majesty doesn't like these, I will immediately order everyone to throw them all away!"

"No need, just leave these things here."

He cast his gaze on Concubine Li again, and saw that she looked even more charming in her gorgeous attire. Her dress was glittering and the jewelry she wore was dazzling. The level of luxury she wore even surpassed that of the concubines of higher rank in the palace.

Baili Jingyao took a sip of the fragrant tea. The tea seemed to have lost its former sweetness, leaving only a faint bitterness lingering on the tip of his tongue.

Taoist Master Jiang's words echoed in his heart, and every word seemed more precious than ever and should not be taken lightly.

He was thinking in his mind what kind of crime to accuse the father and son of the Li family to prevent future trouble.
